jup, an accel changing dialog should probably have something like:

 +------------------------------------------------+
 | single-selection list of accel entry to change |
 +------------------------------------------------+
 
 Current Key:  | xxxxx |  Default Key: | xxxxx |
 
 +---------------------+ +------------------+
 | Change Key (Button) | | Reset to default |
 +---------------------+ +------------------+

 +-+
 | |  Allow Accel changes on menu items (check button)
 +-+ 

and maybe even have a button to reload/revert the complete
accel map.

this requires additions to GtkAccelMap however:

* generic changed notification
* exposition of the default binding (it's already stored internally)
* Revert/Reload All will also need to be a special function as this
  has to bypass conflict resolution to some extend.
